The Graptosedum 'Alpenglow' is a pink succulent that grows in tightly packed rosettes. As it grows, it will trail over a planter or create ground cover in a garden. It will produce yellow flowers in the spring.

Succulents tend to require less watering and fertilizing than other houseplants, but they may need additional nutrients from time to time. A good succulent plant food product may contain a variety of organic plant nutrients, trace minerals, natural growth hormones, humic + fulvic acids, and worm castings. Overfeeding your succulent, especially with high levels of nitrogen, can cause leaf and root rot problems.

Use this soil mix for succulents, palms, cactus, citrus, plumeria, and some tropical plants. A good Succulent, Palm and Citrus soil mix is a coarse, well-drained soil that is about one-third sand. It should absorb water quickly and provide excellent drainage. This soil mix should contain ingredients such as recycled forest products, pumice, sand, bark fines, dehydrated poultry manure, and hydrolyzed feather meal.

Low-maintenance rosette-shaped pink succulent.

Graptosedum 'Alpenglow'

Incredibly hardy with a zest for life. Response readily to propagation and generally at least somewhat saveable if problems are caught soon enough. Will reabsorb leaves as needed. One way it communicates its need for water is the leaves will start to pucker at the stem. I like to alternate top and bottom watering to keep it happy.
